Cut Pollard

[RustyBourneHorse]

Tony Pollard needs to be either cut or on the hot seat. Last week, his poor decisions on KR put us in massive field position holes. Luckily for him, we ended up winning last week. This week, he had some poor decisions, and then that fumble that set up the safety. It's bad enough that our D is atrocious, but it's worse knowing that we are probably going to have to to travel about 90 yards to score a TD. Not to mention that I don't think he did anything but return kickoffs today. I'd say put Cedrick Wilson and/or Lamb back there on KR, and cut Pollard.

In his place, sign Lamar Miller (https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MillLa01.htm). He's a FA, and would be a nice complementary bruising RB to help Zeke when he's tired. Or, sign Isaiah Crowell for the same purpose (https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CrowIs00.htm).

Lamar Miller, or Isaiah Crowell. Wow...just wow.

Hey, just throwing some replacement ideas out there. Either way, get rid of Pollard imo.

We need to worry about this gosh darn defense first. Pollard has been horrible but, at least we can put in another punt returner/running back in place of him. The horrid defense cannot be replaced, sadly.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Gonna disagree with this. Pull him from kick returns, but we need a backup RB and he's better than anyone in the cut pile.

Oh for sure! We definitely need to fix our D. But KR is a good place to start, and Pollard needs to be off KR. He is an idiot when it comes to KR.

Wait, I thought we needed to cut Zeke because Pollard could do it all.....

For Christ sakes, get him off of special teams.

I swear we have the Dumbest Fan Base in the League.

Ok, maybe it's an overreaction, but Pollard is terrible at KR.

Let us not forget that we have an aggressive special teams coach. Without being that fly on the wall how do we know that Pollard isn't isn't given instructions to bring out anything that's 5 yards or less into the endzone.
True he did muffed the kickoff but I believe Pollard would have been better than Zeke in this game considering what we needed to do to move the ball against the Seahawks. Pollard would have been much better and running routes and finding the soft spots in coverage.

I suppose so. I think we could use a better returner though.

Yes please

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Zeke was worse.

 

[Aviano90]

Get him off of kick returns. He is making bad decisions unless the coaches are telling him to keep taking the ball out. If so, fire the coach.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yeah there is 0% chance of that happening.

 

[Cmac]

Not cut.....but let him look at film all day about his KO return decisions........and listen to his response.....then it will tell you whether he should be elsewhere.

 

[BlueStar22]

Zeke was worse.

Zeke only got 14 carries...
